Book Review 2-3

California

California is one of biggest states in America. It is the home of Hollywood and the American film. Americans call California 'The Golden State'. On January 24, 1848, one man, who is James Wilson, saw something bright and yellow in a river when he was working on the land, which was later to become the city of Sacramento. This bright is gold. This discovery was spread all over the world.
Today, the buildings in San Francisco are much stronger because there was a terrible earthquake. In San Francisco, there is the Golden Gate Bridge or Golden Gate Park.

California has many parks, for example, Humboldt Redwoods State Park, Yosemite National Park, and Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. They have abundant nature.

Los Angeles is one city in California and one of the largest cities in the world. About nine million people live in the city and this size is more than 10000 square kilometers.

Also, San Diego is one city in California and second largest city in California. More than one million people live in San Diego.

I've never been to California but this city is attractive for me. I want to go there someday.

English Weekend

I participated in English Weekend. I didn't take part in this program last year so this English Weekend was my first time. I stayed at Nishigoushi training center from yesterday.

We did some games, for example, fruit basket or bingo. They are interesting. At night, we had barbecue. I ate meat, vegetable, and marshmallow. I've never roast marshmallow and eaten it, but it was very tasty. After barbecue, we went to hot spring. I could be relaxed. I talked with many people, KGU students or exchange students. I enjoyed talking with them and I didn't sleep much.

Today, we did another game and listened to exchange students' speaking. They told us about their countries a lot. I like listening to it. We ate thin wheat noodles at lunch. It was good. Before leaving there, we cleaned there. Then, we went to Suntory Beer Garden. I was so tired so it was so-so.

In this English Weekend, I was acquainted with many people. It was very good for me. I could spend very good time and I think I have to learn many things more.

Birthday Party

I met Eriko, Mayumi, and Arata who are my good friends since high school after classes. We ate out and ate grilled chicken in downtown. It was very delicious. We talked a lot. After eating dinner, we bought a cake for Eriko's birthday. Her birthday was on September and she became 20 years old. We would go to Arata's house and eat the cake, but Mayumi became out of shape so we took her to her house in my car. Eriko, Arata, and I wanted to spend time more so we came back Arata's house and ate the cake. It was very tasty. We talked very long time. I could spend very good time with them.

Little Women

This story is about four sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. Meg is 16 years old and has big eyes and beautiful long brown hair. She is very beautiful. Jo is 15 years old and has dark eyes and long brown hair. She is tall and thin. Beth is 13 years old and very quiet girl. Amy is the youngest and has blur eyes and yellow hair. They don't have any money and their father is away in the war but they are happy and they are very kind. They are sometimes angry but they are very obedient children. This book says about parts of their life.

I think the sisters are very good children. They are kind to their mother, father, and other people. I enjoyed reading this book.

With My Friends

Tonight, I went out with my friends who are staff at my part-time job. We went to karaoke and they sang many songs. I couldn't sing well but I also sang a lot. After karaoke, we went to supermarket and bought liquor, snacks, and ice cream. We ate ice cream in a car and went to the house of one of us. Then, we drunk alcohol and talked a lot. We've never gone out together before so we talked so much. I could spend very good time with them.

Movie Review 1

MR1 Toy Story

I watched this movie in the library with Haruka. I’ve watched it in Japanese but I’ve never watched it in English. I think it is more interesting in English than in Japanese.

This movie was released in 1995 in USA and then it was also released in many countries, for example, Japan, Australia, Brazil, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sweden, Argentina, Spain, and so on.

This story is about mainly change of relationship between two toys and growth of them and toys around them.

Main characters of this movie are Woody, and Buzz Lightyear, and Andy. Woody is a toy, looks like a constable in Western and is leader of all toys of Andy. Buzz Lightyear is a toy with high-tech functions and becomes to be a member of Andy’s toy as his birthday present. Andy is a child and owner of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and other toys.

A voice actor of Woody is Tom Hanks, a voice actor of Buzz Lightyear is Tim Allen, and a voice actor of Andy is John Morris.

I think this movie is good because it is elaborate animation and we can see the life with toy’s viewpoint. There are many kinds of movies in the world but I think it is important for movies to leave something in mind. This movie made me think about friendship, jealousy, and importance of objects so I think this movie is good movie.
